Nobody likes to deal with trash. The repugnant smell and the overall disgustingness of daily waste is enough to repel even those of us with strong stomachs. We try so hard to conceal it from our senses and pretend it doesn’t exist. Whether it’s shoving our trash under the sink, or slapping a lid on top of it, we do our best to avoid interacting with that nasty garbage.

The iTouchless Automatic Trash Can takes it a step further by removing both touch and smell from the equation. With a motion-sensing lid and a deodorizing filter, this touchless trash can will help add a few more degrees of separation between you and your waste.

One of the most irritating things about having a trash can in your kitchen is the smell. One minute, you’re happily chopping fresh veggies, and the next minute you’re catching a whiff of something foul. You could always try using scented trash bags or a heavy dose of Febreze, but that doesn’t solve the problem — it only covers it up. Thanks to an activated carbon odor filter, you can put a stop to those foul odors at their source without adding more smells to the situation.

Trash cans aren’t just a receptacle for bad smells, however — they are also a perfect breeding ground for all kinds of germs and bacteria. The motion-sensing technology allows you to throw things away without laying a finger on those germ-infested surfaces. Just wave your hand in front of the sensor and the lid will open, then close as soon as you deposit your garbage.

If you’re tired of bad smells taking over your kitchen and having to touch your trash can, an upgrade might be just what you need. You can pick up the iTouchless Automatic Trash Can on Amazon for just $90 after a $50 discount.

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

This popular Dell business laptop is discounted from $849 to $579

If you're looking for a solid business laptop that's both portable and won't break the bank, then you'll be very happy with the Vostro 14. Not only is it highly rated, but it's still packed with features for being such a small device, and while it can be a little bit pricey at MSRP, you can get it for a steep discount. Dell has knocked an impressive $270 off the usual $849 price tag, bringing it down to a much more affordable $579, making it an excellent deal if you've been looking for a new device.

Why you should buy the Vostro 14
For being only a small 14-inch laptop, the Vostro 14 has some pretty good specs and a couple of ones that maybe should have been slightly better. For example, you get 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which is really excellent, especially for a more business-oriented laptop, so you can open a lot of apps and tabs at the same time. On the other hand, you only get an Intel Core i5-1335U, which is a mid-range processor, and while it's absolutely fine for business work and productivity, it would have been nice to get the higher-end Intel Core i7-1355U for a bit extra power and versatility.
